Disrupt this writer

July 28, 2019 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

You know how scientific analysis sometimes requires killing what it is seeking to understand first? I feel like this at the moment about writing.

January 16, 2015 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

Writers need to consider specifics in the creation of their narratives. For instance, they need to put a bit of thought into names and plot developments. But apart from this, there are the large concepts that should at least be thought about, if not addressed directly.
